Re: Players using others players bats or other equipment

i didnt snap a pic of it, but last night i was at a Round Rock Express game (AAA of the astros) and Edwin Maysonet was using a J.D. Drew bat, I thought it was really weird bc they have never been on the same team, let alone the same organization

Noticed today while watching the Yankees/ Red Sox game that Francisco Cervelli was swinging a Brett Gardner bat for at least one at bat and with 5 RBIs one would have to think he may keep that up!

I thought this was funny.....Albert Pujols with a Manny Ramirez store model bat.

First baseman Albert Pujols #5 of the St. Louis Cardinals during photo day at Roger Dean Stadium on March 1, 2010 in Jupiter, Florida.

Whats even funnier is that he is wearing a RED undershirt!

I recently picked up a 1983-84 Butch Davis model bat used by Frank White, same model, length, weight as Frank typically used, and has Frank's characteristic "20 with a smiley face in the zero" in sharpie on the knob.

During Arizona Fall League last year I got a cracked bay from Lance Zawadski and it turned out to be a George Kottarras bat. I asked him about it later in the season because I could not find any time that they were on the same team (though George did play for the Padres but before Lance got there) and he said they shared the same agent and thats how he got the bat.

Manny Ramirez swinging Blake Dewitt's Glomar bat lately.

Javier Vasquez what did he use?

Well I know this is a bit late but I thought I would throw it out there in case anyone was interested.

During the interleague games I saw Javier Vasquez use a Brett Gardner bat when he got up to bat.

Just in case anyone was wondering

Re: Players using others players bats or other equipment

Not a hint of photo evidence but just today I received a 2002 Marlins bat from Left Field Collectibles, GU by Alex Gonzalez, including an Expos signed letter from the visiting equipment manager.

On knob and end in silver are Gonzalez's #11. In gold, on the knob, the 11 is blocked out and the number 17 was added. Checking Baseball Reference the player who wore #17 in 2002 for the Marlins was Ramon Castro.

The bat has a clean crack which I plan to repair. Beautiful 2 tone bat, black and rose. Could well have been cracked by Castro.

Orioles at Tigers

Magglio Ordonez used what appeared to be an Ivan Rodriguez LVS P72 in the first inning when he grounded out to second to pick up an RBI.

Pudge must have left a lot of lumber behind in Detroit since he hasn't played for the Tigers since July 30, 2008. Did anybody else see this or happen to get a screenshot?
